Technique 2: Active Recall — Train Your Brain Like a Muscle

Active recall is one of the most effective study techniques, backed by extensive research. Instead of passively rereading notes, active recall forces you to retrieve information from memory — like testing yourself.

Think of it like working out: watching fitness videos won’t build muscle unless you actually exercise. Similarly, your brain strengthens when you actively recall information.

How to practice active recall:

• Use flashcards with questions on one side and answers on the other.
• Test yourself repeatedly without looking at notes.

Creating hundreds of flashcards can be tedious, but Recall has you covered. Its flashcard feature generates questions automatically from your notes, saving time and effort. Plus, you can edit cards to ensure accuracy.
